How Xerces-c 2.8 gets built on Solaris 10 64-bit platforms using GCC
3.4.x:
Solaris
xerces-c-2.8.0/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/GCC 3.4.6
1) Download xerces tar ball,
2) Set XERCESCROOT (export XERCESCROOT=/path/to/xerces-c-src_2_8_0)
3) cd ${XERCESCROOT}/src/xercesc
4) On Solaris, If you are building a 64 bit Xerces-C++ using g++ that by
default generated 32 bit code (or vice versa), then you will need to
specify additional compiler and linker options via the -z and -l
runConfigure options in order to switch the compiler into 64 bit mode
(or 32 bit mode). These options are architecture-specific and you may
need to consult the GCC manual to determine which ones to use. For
the
x86-64, and SPARC architectures these options are -m64 (64 bit mode)
and -m32 (32 bit mode). Note also that if you are using the
packageBinaries.pl
script to build Xerces-C++ then you may need to modify this script to
pass the necessary options to runConfigure.
5) Configure with (note -z-pthreads is needed because it is not
automatically
added to the command line. In previous builds this was done by
manually
editing the Makefile after configuring. -rpthread not -rpthreads
because
-rpthreads is not recoganized.
6) Configure:
./runConfigure -psolaris -cgcc -xg++ -b64 -l"-m64" -l"-mcpu=v9"
-l"-O0" \
-l"-Wa,-xarch=v9" -z"-m64" -z"-mcpu=v9" -z"-O0" -z"-fPIC"
-z"-Wa,-xarch=v9" \
-rpthread -z-pthreads
7) Build with:
make
xerces-c-2.8.0/i386-pc-solaris2.10/GCC 3.4.3
1) Download xerces tar ball,
2) Set XERCESCROOT (export XERCESCROOT=/path/to/xerces-c-src_2_8_0)
3) cd ${XERCESCROOT}/src/xercesc
4) On Solaris, If you are building a 64 bit Xerces-C++ using g++ that by

-rpthread -z-pthreads
7) Build with:
make

I don't have any SPARC hardware, so I can't test this.

I've tried to do this, and have always had problem getting even Xerces-C
to build using that compiler. I'll try again with the latest Solaris
distribution and see what happens.
In the meantime, you can try this yourself, by modifying runConfigure to
add -m64 to the bitstobuildDefines variable for the Linux platform, and
use that to build.
